Ticklish Boat | 38' True North 2002
New to the Market! This 2002 True North 38 is a well-designed Downeast cruiser. True North was built by Pearson shipyard in Rhode Island with style and performance in mind. The multi-functional reverse transom blends the sweeping sheer line for a traditional appearance that also opens to allow ease of access to the water to swim or bring a tender aboard through the transom. The single Yanmar 6LY2A - 440hp diesel engine offers dependable performance and excellent fuel economy for your journey. (Please note that I misspoke in the video calling it a 370hp engine)
The open layout from transom to helm allows everyone to participate in the fun. The pilothouse can be closed off by its canvas and isinglass enclosure. The pilothouse has a settee that converts to a berth and an observer's chair to port. The galley and captains helm are to starboard. The helm has been upgraded to a matched Garmin Navigation package. The forward stateroom with a double berth is comfortably equipped and includes an enclosed head w/shower. There is a hanging locker to port and cabinets for storage.
"Ticklish" owner has maintained copious & timely service records during his ownership that are available for your review.
